NRA t-shirt is not a gun, nor does the NRA support students bringing guns to class. Though there should be someone on campus that is combat firearms trained and carrying at all times. By the time the cops show up it is to late._________________The BIGGER the GOVERNMENT, the smaller the citizen.

Apparently in a show of solidarity and/or protest, several other students showed up with the same shirt.

Bullshit. It's students trying to get laid/on tv/both by proving how brave they are by wearing a divisive shirt. Reactionaries have pounced on the story of these children for their own agendas. I don't get why children would have more rights that the adults that are charged with their protection, seems a little silly to me.

If that school has already been suspending students for wearing, say, a Che Guevera T-shirt, or a "Legalize Marijuana" T-shirt, or a "My Body My Choice" T-shirt, then suspending this student is consistent and fair. If not, then they've got no business suppressing this particular child's expression.

The children don't have "more rights than the adults". They do have have a right to freedom of speech, to the extent it doesn't interfere with the rights of others. The idea that a NRA t-shirt is somehow a "disruption" is nonsense. What this is about is the liberal public education system indoctrinating children with collectivist authoritarian values to an extreme and unreasonable degree such that even an image of a firearm or the word "gun" is some kind of horrific taboo (while promoting butt-fucking is a sacred right), one child pushing back against that without actually doing anything wrong, and some educators taking umbrage at that fact and trying to force him into submission to the collectivist authoritarian agenda._________________Deja Moo: the feeling that you've heard this bull before

What would have happened if you had worn a political protest T-shirt as a protest at your high school and were refused to take it off?

US kids are so spoilt, it's no wonder they end up so entitled.

It's not what happened because he refused that's the real issue; it's that he was told to take it off. If a student refuses to follow the legal and reasonable instructions of faculty members, they should be disciplined and, if necessary, suspended or expelled. The question is whether the instruction was legal and reasonable._________________Deja Moo: the feeling that you've heard this bull before

What's wrong with having a dress code and expecting students to follow it?

The student in question was following the dress code.

Quote:

Logan County Schools' dress code, which is posted on the school system's website, prohibits clothing and accessories that display profanity, violence, discriminatory messages or sexually suggestive phrases. Clothing displaying advertisements for any alcohol, tobacco, or drug product also is prohibited.
